Excellent quality! Sounds like it was just recorded. Bing and Al had great chemistry. I used to listen to their radio shows on LP when I was a teenager in the late '70s.
I was only a little older, myself! Glad you enjoyed it. Pop over to the Jolson website at www.jolson.org for more on Al Jolson, and maybe you will join us in the IAJS!
I had the privilege of listening weekly to Bing Crosby on radio until he "went off the air" in the mid 1950's. Bing and Rosemary Clooney later had a weekday radio program from 1960 into 1962 which was good listening. Al Jolson, paired with Bing Crosby, was entertainment at its best. Two of the best entertainers of the 20th century. Thank you for sharing these valuable memories.
@@susanjewitt8783 Dean, Bing and Perry are crooners I listen/watch to a lot. I have books about Dean and Bing. I'll have to see if there's a book about Perry. Regis was quite a fan of Perry. I've watched a few of his shows on yt when his guests where Dean and Pat Boone.
Thanks for your comment, and I certainly agree. Please do subscribe to this channel if you've not already, check out more material at the website, www.jolson.org, and consider joining the International Al Jolson Society for even more material and access to Jolson's legacy.
The only entertainer that outshone Crosby was Jolson. And it is no lies that Crosby was genuinely awed and weak in the knees when he had to perform with Jolie!
Just think, the great Jolson lived to see a film made of his life, so sucessful that there was a follow-up AND although they found an actor to play the part they could not find anyone to do justice to his songs so he recorded them himself ...
Anne Roy Anne, to the best of my knowledge, Al Jolson remains the only person to have two film biographies made of his life while he was still living. He was just that great.
His voice was so much better in later life… incredible 😮

Thanks, see and hear more Jolson on the International Al Jolson Society website, www.jolson.org
Two of the greatest voices of the 20th Century!
I was four months old at this time, I'm now seventy, I've always loved Al Jolson

Y'know, I was born in '72, and have been in love with Joley since I first heard some of his recordings aged about 3... ❤️💕🎶🎵

Thanks for the comments and memories. Please feel free to share this, and others in the series, with all that can appreciate these great talents.
The best singer of history. The best entreteiner of the world
I think Elvis could claim that title.
@@timcarr6401 Personal choice but not an Elvis fan. Personally love Perry Como.

“Perry Como was pretty good too, when he was awake.”- Groucho Marx 😂
Love it
